Probably this:
Didn't the manager at the Flying J say they were looking to go live last Friday? Obviously, that didn't happen. But I don't see anything in the way to activate it this Friday. It seems like it's up to the Tesla rep to make this go live (unless the city has to inspect it first?). Hoping they do it asap, as I will be driving through there on Saturday.

Plan b is the Ozona to Van Horn run in under 12 parsecs. If I made it in 30 degree weather at reduced speed (sp100d), then I should be able to do it in 80 degree weather at reduced speed. Plan c is a stop at fort Stockton rv park or balmorhea for an hour or two of l2 charge.
I drove by on the evening of Wednesday the 12th. Just over a week ago. And I can tell you, in my estimation, there is NO way that Supercharger is going to be ready for operation by Saturday. They were still tearing the place up laying wires underground. There looked to be a lot of work left. I could be wrong in how long it all takes. But my guess would be another month before they come online from the state of things I saw. Good Luck on your trip! Dunno where you're heading.. but you can make it around Ft. Stockton. Ozona to Van Horn on 1-10 is doable.. certainly if you have a 100D.. just keep it under 80. Or you can take I-20 instead east-west.. it has less of a coverage gap.

Sorry, the place was a wreck of construction.. I didn't want to get near it and all the Semi's and everyone else in the gas station.. It still looked a lot like the pictures I'd already seen here... fencing up all around the construction.. all the chargers were still in their boxes.. looked a long way from ready to me

GroundForces already reported yesterday that the fences came down on Wednesday and the tire stops and signs were up yesterday.

A lot of "finished" sites sit idle for a week or two of testing and getting the right people from city/county/tesla together/out there to certify that everything was done correctly.

Fort Stockton has got to set two records: 1) The longest wait from first permit opened until construction actually starts. 2) The shortest time from start of construction until OPEN!
Carlsbad, CA has been in construction for over 6-months and looks complete but will probably be another month before it opens.

I think you should say: The shortest time time from start of construction to end of construction. As others have stated, it could still take a month to open.
Here's a possibility for the haste of now completing this supercharger....
They are about to drive the semi across I10 and need the supercharger for it.

Aha! The signs ARE up (today, at least). No stall numbers yet. Tesla, please make the fat lady sing.
